From the E DITO R
Welcome to Look Local in October, the month when leaves change colour, the clocks are turned back & the evenings draw in. Pumpkins and conkers appear and I get one year older :-( but not necessarily in that order! Although the days will soon feel a little shorter, as always there is plenty going on locally to make the most of every minute! As the sad state of our oceans seems to make headline news more and more frequently, we hear how Garsons Farm does a great job and raises funds for marine conservation. Talking of fish, if you fancy a treat, we recommend a lovely local restaurant, the Toby Cottage in nearby Ripley, where I enjoyed a wonderful evening. I’m delighted to share that evening with you this month. Local non-religious minister, Emma Curtis of Claygate, was recently recognised in the National Funeral Awards. Having experienced a number of close bereavements myself in the past few years, I really do appreciate the importance of a job well done in this caring profession. It is wonderful that she has been recognised. Other features this month include winter health advice from the NHS, a little music quiz kindly provided by David Kid Jensen and all our regular features too, and if you’re a bit of a motorhead, why not enter our competition to win a lovely book all about Volvos, see page 49 for that. I hope you all have a great month, and remember to adjust your clocks and watches on Sunday 29th October. Until next time, take care,
Ros

ASK BRUCE NEW TRICKS
This month, Look Local editor Ros asks ‘can you teach an old dog new tricks?’ Ros has seen videos of dogs learning tricks and would like to try the same with her four-year-old cockerpoo who seems slow to perform! There is the possibility for any dog to learn new tricks, whatever its age or breed. For some, it comes naturally, while others may struggle. For example, pugs and beagles can be strong-willed and uninterested, whereas dogs like collies, spaniels and labradors are often super-keen. A cockerpoo as a breed has good potential, combining the intelligence of the poodle with the work ethic of the spaniel. But patience and persistence from you is needed. Unlike puppies, older dogs will need more time, repetition and reward. What takes a puppy two days to learn could take an older dog two weeks. Start slowly and motivate them with their favourite treat or toy each time they get it right. If, over time, you aren’t getting anywhere, it may be you have a dog that’s simply not interested and it’s time to call it a day. Like a child that tries a new hobby and gives up, it would be unwise to push them too hard to continue. And do remember that very elderly dogs (aged 10-plus) are at a time in their life where learning new tricks might not be appropriate. Overall, it’s about setting realistic expectations. Good luck!

Garsons Centre BAGS VITAL FUNDS FOR MARINE CONSERVATION
Garden centre sales assistant, Cara Taylor, with one of the reusable sustainable bags that have help raise vital funds for marine conservation.
Garson’s, Esher and Hampshire | www.Garsons.co.uk
Family-run garden centre and farm shop, Garsons of Titchfield, has raised a staggering £2,567 for marine conservation along the Hampshire and Sussex coastline, simply by asking for 5p for plastic carrier bags. The sum has been collected over the 12-month period between April 2016 and March this year from the sale of bags at both Garsons Titchfield and its sister site in Esher, Surrey, and will be donated to the Marine Conservation Society. “These funds will help us enormously,” says Ian Fraser, Head of Fundraising at the Marine Conservation Society. “Though we’re a national charity,, we’ve been working to help safeguard sea life at special sites around the Sussex coast, and we’ll be back running cleans and surveys on beaches in
Sussex and Hampshire this September.” Although not legally required to do so, Garsons only started charging for plastic bags in October 2015 in a bid to reduce the single use bags that often end up in our seas and oceans. If customers forget to bring a bag with them, they can make a 5p donation for one of Garsons’ degradable bags. In the first six months alone, the garden centre raised £1,500 for the charity. “We are very proud to support the Marine Conservation Society and the invaluable work it does to protect our sea life and coastlines,” says Ben Thompson, Garsons director. “We have seen a notable drop in the use of bags, which means our wonderful customers are equally prepared to help us in our quest to protect the environment.”

Fight the Flu AND STAY WELL THIS WINTER
To find out more, visit www.nhs.uk/flujab or speak to your GP surgery or local pharmacist
The onset of the winter months is always challenging for the NHS, especially for urgent care services which tend to see a sharp increase in A&E attendances. This is often because of flu and other cold weather conditions, but also because of preventable things, such as people running out of medications or opting to go straight to hospital instead of to a GP, a pharmacist or calling NHS 111. The Stay Well This Winter campaign aims to ease this seasonal pressure by outlining simple choices people can make to keep themselves well during the colder months. This includes having a flu vaccination, if you are eligible. Vaccination is free to those aged two – eight years, over 65s, anyone aged six months - 65 years in clinical ‘at risk’ groups (including people with asthma and respiratory conditions and those with heart and kidney problems), pregnant women, those in longstay residential care homes and carers. Choosing to get vaccinated not only helps you stay well, but also those around you. Flu is highly infectious and can be particularly nasty in small children and the elderly, leading to serious
18 Looklocal Magazine - October 2017
complications, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Now is the perfect time to make your appointment with your GP or pharmacist before outbreaks of flu set in... and don’t assume that if you were vaccinated last year, you are safe - the vaccination needs updating every year to be fully effective.
Flu Facts • Young children are not vaccinated by injection. They receive a quick, painless nasal spray which takes seconds to administer • Flu in children can lead to high fever or complications and may require hospital treatment • Babies can’t be vaccinated but if the mother is vaccinated when pregnant, immunity is passed to her child during its first few months • Flu can hit older and disabled people and their carers hard. Having the vaccine is the best way to protect carers and the person they care for from flu. • Contrary to popular belief, the flu vaccination does not give you flu!

The Toby Cottage Restaurant in Ripley has been a favourite on our list for many years. Owned and run by Toni & Tony, business partners for 11 years and colleagues for many more, the combination works so well. Without exception, every time I’ve visited the welcome is warm. This traditional restaurant sits within a lovely 16th century oak beamed building at the end of Ripley High Street, with customer parking to the rear. We started our evening with a much-enjoyed aperitif in the upstairs bar, a chance to relax and defuse the stresses of the day, while we sipped on a welcome G&T, nibbled on an olive and feasted our eyes on the tempting menu selections. The menu changes regularly, and specials vary, depending on what looks good at market: regular twice weekly visits to Billingsgate and Smithfield markets in London ensure fresh seasonal produce, and this

certainly is reflected in the quality and flavours you will enjoy at The Toby Cottage. After much deliberation, I decided to go fishy. Both my choices this evening were specials: scallops in pancetta, followed by the halibut in a lobster and prawn sauce on a bed of leeks. My dinner guest chose crispy calamari, and Beef Wellington to follow. We were shown to our table downstairs. It was beautifully presented and situated by an attractive bay window. The wine menu is pretty impressive, offering a wide selection to please every palate. As our food options led us in different directions, we opted for two different half bottles, one Loire Sancerre, which was fruity but beautifully dry & a perfect accompaniment to my fish dishes, and a mellow Pinot Noir Burgundy to wash down the beef. Both were enjoyed very much. The staff have the art of service down to a tee, attentive

but not invasive, professional but friendly, with perfect silver service skills to boot. Our starters arrived and the smells instantly made my mouth water. Beautifully presented and deliciously tasty, my scallops melted in my mouth. The calamari was coated in a very light and crispy batter, and the calamari itself was soft and very moreish., and accompanied by a very tasty dipping sauce. We actually shared these delicious offerings and both enjoyed them very much indeed. Our main courses were equally as enjoyable. The individual Beef Wellington sliced so easily and my halibut was complemented beautifully by the lobster and prawn sauce. A selection of fresh seasonal vegetables and crispy roasted potatoes were cooked to perfection. Such a treat ! The sweet trolley that followed proved impossible to resist. Again a magnificent selection. We chose a creme

caramel & profiteroles with chocolate sauce. All the desserts are homemade and you could really tell. We had such a nice evening, it was a real treat. This is a special restaurant, where customers are very well looked after, great care is taken and the food is superb. You come away feeling as if you’ve spent an evening with friends. This attention to detail and good old-fashioned service is rare these days. Tony & Toni create a perfect recipe at The Toby Cottage. Thanks go to everyone who made us feel so welcome.

Autumn Magic DESIGNS FOR ALL SEASONS
Selina Botham - www.designsforallseasons.co.uk
There is nothing like a bit of autumn cheer to counteract the rather low feeling that you may get as you return from the summer holidays. Here are a few things you can consider to give you and your garden an autumn boost:- Grasses studded with seed-heads of perennials look spectacular in autumn, especially when backlit with low morning or evening sun. - Extend the flowering season wth late flowering perennials and shrubs. Choose plants such as asters, sedums and dahlias. Also, ceratostigma plumbaginoides and geraniums such as Rozanne flower well till the first frosts, and Agapanthus carry on the interest well into autumn with spectacular seed heads. Another absolute showstopper for this time of year is hydrangea, and there is a wealth of beautiful varieties to choose from. Many of the flower colours deepen to dusky reds in autumn too which adds to the warmth of the display. - Cut back your perennials before you go on holiday (a ‘Summer Snip’ - rather than the ‘Chelsea Chop’). This means that whilst you are on holiday, your plants will be busy producing an extra crop of flowers for September/October.
24 Looklocal Magazine - October 2017
- Think about the autumn leaf colour when you choose trees and shrubs, and select some buttery yellows and some fiery reds too. These can be balanced against the late perennials, so you get a good sense of balance and flow with the colours of autumn in your garden. Euonymus alatus compactus, Cotinus (all varieties) and Acers are amongst my favourites. - Berries/hips add another pop of autumn colour and have the added advantage of attracting and feeding birds. Rugosa roses have great hips, as do dog rose (Rosa canina) and Rosa moyensii ‘Geranium’. Cotoneaster hybridus Pendulus puts in a good show as does C.lactus. - Bark colour is also worth considering if you want to introduce some colours which will last through winter. Cornus, Salix and the lovely Prunus serrula all tone in beautifully to complete a warm autumnal design.

For some while, custom-built PCs have been the preferred platform for modern game play, and this is justifiably deserved for many reasons, including: • You can choose, change and improve the specification of the machine • Superior graphics on a PC • Easier and cheaper to keep up-to-date with your needs • PC games are usually cheaper than the console equivalent • The users can be networked and multi play with larger number of players • There is a larger catalogue of games on PC than all other formats If you are looking to get yourself a gaming system, the most important consideration is to ensure your system is harmonised. This means ensure that all the components in your system are of a similar performance rating and that one part is not stifling the performance of another. As a very rough guide, building a balanced machine could look like this….

Other items which we have not touched on, but which are of major importance, are: which motherboard?, effective cooling, and why do I need a good power supply? The higher the performance you are seeking, the more the items will cost (maybe a bit obvious); for your greater outlay, you are buying improved longevity, superior graphics and more fluid motion, plus the higher performing machines will work much better with immerging technologies, such as virtual reality and other innovations, such as a augmented reality. Surprisingly, there are sites such as www.twitch.tv where you can watch game players play your favourite game - yes, and there are millions of people doing this - and in most cases, the PC is the preferred platform. If budgets are limited, we can advise you on how they build your machine in stages, whilst still having a useable machine as you complete your ultimate machine. We are now taking orders for your Christmas custom-built gaming machine; we can build to your requirements, or advise, recommend, then build the ultimate machine for you in time for Christmas.
Whatever your needs, please feel free to come along and talk with us.

Volvo XC90 CAR REVIEW
By Ted Macauley
and, with their dedication to detail and recognisable improvement in the tiniest of equipment, even the Volvo radiator badge has been redesigned. And it gets better and better. Volvo’s relentless chase for the wow factor results in an infotainment set-up that takes a commanding but understated placing of a tablet acting as the centrepiece of the dash. The tech-pack graphics are clarity exemplified, with sharp resolution and the operation of the system with an ease of pinch, pat or swipe of its informative and thoroughly responsive screen. Overall, as a perfect appeal to families, the emphasis is comfort, with the seven seats all recliners and sliders to suit any leg length. Even six-footers like me are made to feel right at home, and the 3rd row back seats can be folded away to expand what is already a boot expansive enough to swallow up any amount of family luggage. So what about the ride? The turbo and supercharged petrol version offers a responsive treat from its four cylinders, but for me if you are not too fussed about the lack of a reasonable roar as per the multi-cylinder offering, then the diesel XC90 serves an admirable response in its smoothly-reacting, bump-absorbing family orientation. The more miles you do, on the motorway, in town or down twisty country lanes, the more you appreciate what a real beauty and an economic, family-oriented reward this understated Swedish good looker is as it sets about monopolising the SUV hard-fought market as the bestseller. Any worthy Volvo dealer, acting on guidance from HQ, will give you an extended trial spell which could be as much as a week. They know it’s a delight that inevitably will magic you towards your cheque book. Volvo XC? That, in my humble opinion, should read eXCellent …..
I could well be fairly accused of allowing myself to be overtaken by a burst of Volvo magic with my double-dose of Swedish expertise in the shape of the new SUV under review – and, elsewhere in our magazine, a chance to win a fascinating book on the history of the company’s buildup, featuring its estate car and its successors. But here and now, I must pay tribute to probably the most comfy, practical and value-for-money car they have produced in years – the ultra-ultra stylish XC90, a treasure of good looks on the move. I forecast that it is as gob-smacking as any Scandinavian beauty can be and I’m dead certain it will severely dent the hopes and plans of SUV rivals such as Jaguar, Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz and leave them stranded in its healthy and fumeless slipstream. As always, with a typical lack of preposterous show-offery demonstrated yawningly too often by rivals, Volvo is letting its refined newcomer speak for itself, and it does so in impressive volumes without shouting its odds like its opponents do so blatantly. An astute, crucial and well-planned, but oh-so-simple principle remains. The engine is transversely mounted, with the result that an impressive share of its elongated extent is retained to give its interior, and its space for seven Specification: My choice: D5 Inscription. Diesel. Seven people, a real treat. The modern version is pretty much different in every seats. BHP 235.Speed 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds.Top department, with quality as its well-deserved watchword, speed around 130 mph. Mpg: 48.7. Price £47,350.

Competition TIME
Win a copy of ‘The Volvo Estate Car’ with Ted Macauley
Few, if any, books featuring the history and development of motor cars, particularly one significant model, can match the absolutely splendid offering by specialist publishers Veloce with their painstaking trace of Volvo’s trend-setter estate car to the Scandinavian maker’s current worldbeaters. Every one of the 160 pages is an absolute treat, an historic and carefully constructed and informative verbal run, with a gallery of photographs, images and impressions to pore over at your leisure in a stylish hardback entitled ‘The Volvo Estate Car’. It is a very fine tribute indeed to author Ashley Hollebone’s dedicated hard work. His life revolves around motor cars, as is obvious by his clear enthusiasm. He is not only an obvious petrol head writer, but has amassed 20 years in the film industry as a movie co-ordinator, setting up action vehicles and teaching star actors how to drive
strange, complicated and difficult cars. Any classic car enthusiast, let alone the singularly devoted Volvo fans, will revel in what I confidently predict will go down as a collectors’ item: a superbly produced book, a suitable, step-by-step historic record of an iconic mode of transport currently hitting the highest spots in the tough 4X4 market from a pedigree of expertise and popularity. It is twenty quidsworth of sheer satisfaction and I enjoyed every turn of page and revelled in the information service it so expertly provides. So will you. And that’s why I am offering it as a prize. You can win this sturdy hardback by answering the question: What year did
Volvo top the half-amillion sales mark for the first time in its 89 year history?
Send your answer to ros@looklocalmagazine.co.uk by the 13/10/17 for your chance to win.

Local non-religious Minister RECOGNISED IN NATIONAL FUNERAL AWARDS
Emma Curtis was delighted to be runner-up in the category of Minister of the Year at the Death Oscars, the Good Funeral Awards.
Emma Curtis, a non-religious minister based in Claygate, was delighted to be runner-up in the category of Minister of the Year at the Death Oscars, the Good Funeral Awards, last week. Emma was selected from hundreds of nominees across the country to go through to the final stages of this year’s glittering Good Funeral Awards ceremony at the Porchester Hall in London on Thursday 7th September. Emma offers bereaved families the opportunity to receive pastoral care whilst creating a personalised funeral ceremony, without the constraints of traditional religion. She offers a new kind of support, where her own beliefs are not important, but instead, she prioritises a family’s beliefs, whether religious or not. “It’s such an honour to be runner-up for this award,” Emma said. “It’s great to be recognised alongside traditional ministers who are doing a brilliant job. But it’s also important for people to know that they can be supported at their time of need in a way that fits their own beliefs, however individual. You can have the unique ceremony you want and need to say goodbye, plus the
holistic support to get through it.” The Good Funeral Awards are now in their sixth year and recognise excellence in the world of funerals, rewarding the best funeral directors and all associated services that are involved in creating memorable funerals. Wholly independent of the funeral industry, the awards are supported by consumer advocates, the Good Funeral Guide and the Natural Death Centre. “The Good Funeral Awards recognise exceptional service to bereaved people from all aspects of the funeral industry and supporting services. By progressing this far, Emma Curtis has already demonstrated outstanding professionalism, empathy and a willingness to go the extra mile,” said Fran Hall, CEO of The Good Funeral Guide. Brian Jenner, the event organiser, said: “The Good Funeral Awards recognise all those unsung heroes who work so hard for the bereaved and whose role can so easily be overlooked. Some of the nicest people in Britain work in the funeral business.” For more information, go to www.goodfuneralawards. co.uk or contact Emma on 07768 878764
